Developing efficient controlled release system of insecticide can facilitate the better use of insecticide. We described here a first example of photo-controlled release of an insecticide by linking fipronil with photoresponsive coumarin covalently. The generated coumarin-fipronil (CF) precursor could undergo cleavage to release free fipronil in the presence of blue light (420nm) or sunlight. Photophysical studies of CF showed that it exhibited strong fluorescence properties. The CF had no obvious activity against mosquito larvae under dark, but it can be activated by light inside the mosquito larvae. The released Fip from CF by blue light irradiation in vitro retained its activity to armyworm (Mythimna separate) with LC value of 24.64μmolL. This photocaged molecule provided an alternative delivery method for fipronil.

Bioorthogonalized light-responsive click-and-uncage platform has enabled precise cell surface engineering and timed payload release, but most of such photoactivatable prodrugs have "always-on" photoactivity leading to the dark toxicity. On the other hand, the conditionally activatable photocage is limited to the application of fluorogenic probe/photosensitizer liberation. Herein, we devise a conditionally activatable theranostic platform based on the tetrazine (Tz)-boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) construct, in which tetrazine serves as a quencher motif to disable both the fluorescence and photoresponsivity of BODIPY.

Diabetic foot ulcers are linked to a high disability rate, with no effective treatment currently available. Addressing infection, reducing oxidative stress, and safely managing chronic inflammation remain major challenges. In this study, a composite hydrogel dressing was developed using natural substances or clinically approved components (dopamine, D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, and rhein).

Breast cancer, the most prevalent malignancy among women, frequently exhibits high HER2 expression, making HER2 a critical therapeutic target. Traditional treatments combining the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab with immunotherapy face limitations due to toxicity and tumor microenvironment immunosuppression. This study introduces an innovative strategy combining HER2-targeting peptides with the photosensitizer (PSs) pyropheophorbide-a (Pha) via a gelatinase-cleavable linker, forming self-assembling nanoparticles.

At present, chemotherapy combined with photodynamic therapy is exerting satisfactory therapeutic effects in the treatment of tumors. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) is a photosensitizer with high efficiency and low dark toxicity. At the same time, elemene (ELE) contains high-efficiency and low-toxicity anti-cancer active ingredients, which can effectively penetrate tumor tissue and inhibit its recovery and proliferation.

Photo-responsive organic crystals, capable of converting light energy into chemical energy to initiate conformational transitions, present an emerging strategy for developing lightweight and versatile smart materials. However, visible light-triggered tailored guests capture and release behaviors in all-organic solids are rarely reported. Here, we introduce a photoreactive crystalline boron-nitrogen (B←N) host adduct with the ability to undergo [2+2] photocycloaddition upon 447 nm light exposure.
